Grill Sélect comes across as a warm, family run spot with a clean, inviting atmosphere and attentive service. Reviewers praise the high quality Persian dishes, with koobideh, barg and joojeh kebabs described as consistently juicy, tender and flavorful. Many call it among the best Persian food in Montreal, with lamb chops and even calamar frit earning standout mentions. The ambiance is cozy and unpretentious, and the BYOB option plus takeout are frequently appreciated. Portions are generally generous and prices are reasonable, though a few notes mention one Gohrme Sabzi dish arriving in a smaller portion or with lower quality, and an acidic salad or chicken with an off odor in one visit. Fridays can be very busy and parking is not ideal, but service remains friendly and efficient. Overall, Grill Sélect is viewed as a reliable favorite for authentic flavors and a true kebab destination, frequently praised for consistent quality, welcoming staff, and a warm, homey vibe.
Craving persian food, I went for take out , one order of Kebab Koobideh & a Greek salad.
I was not impressed at all! The rice was cold/wet as if old & reheated, the Koobideh were thick tasteless & chewey as if also reheated.
Very disappointed to say the least - $27.59

I love it here. Such amazing food for a really fair price. We go here a couple of times a month, & it never disappoints.
The staff is so sweet too. We went last week & were seated & served- then our baby woke up cranky from a nap & we asked for it to go instead. Without any issues, the server packed it up for us with a smile. She is always so kind.
I really enjoyed my experience at the restaurant, the atmosphere, service & food quality were great & I was very impressed by the new items on their menu like the ribs.
It's highly recommended.
This restaurant is very clean.
Staff is professional & friendly.
We had koobideh, barg & joojeh, all were so juicy & delicious. For the quality, I can say it's one of the best persian food in Montreal.
La bouffe est absolument exceptionnelle ! Les viandes, autant le poulet que le veau, sont parfaitement relevées d'épices & tout simplement hors pair. & que dire du calamar frit : il fondait littéralement dans la bouche !

I ordered'Gohrme Sabzi' Surprisingly low quality & small portion. Tghey were not like this before. If they told me they had not it for that day, it would be better. I could order sth else!
Great people & they take care of your orders & look after you well when you visit or order at the restaurant. Family run with great family like value that cares for all.
That was a very nice surprised. A very humble store front with amazing food. The great reviews reflect the place.
We ordered select 3 for take out & they did not disappointed, I had one of the best meals of my life (& I'm a picky foodie). Our little gem closed to home, just wished I found it sooner. Heads-up : Friday is very busy so expect 45 minutes wait (so order earlier).

By far, some of the best Persian cuisine I've had compared to many worldwide locations. The food is super, well prepared, tasty, & satisfying. The staff are very friendly, & the management goes out of their way to please. Friendly & warm environment suitable for family gatherings.
'This was, without exaggeration, one of the best meals I've ever had in my life. Every dish was bursting with authentic Persian flavors-rich, aromatic, & cooked to absolute perfection. You can taste the love & care in every bite. The ambience was warm & inviting, & the staff made the experience feel truly special.
If you're looking for real Iranian cuisine that stays with you long after the last bite, this is the place.'
I rarely leave negative reviews, but this experience was truly disappointing. The food was not good at all, & the kebab koobideh was particularly awful , lacking flavor cant even taste meat in it, & nothing close to what proper Persian cuisine should taste like I believe it was full of fat instead of meat. Considering the premium prices they charge, the quality was shockingly low & easily the worst I've ever seen for a kebab restaurant. If you care about good food & authentic Persian flavor, I strongly recommend avoiding this place. There are far better options elsewhere.
This is a continuation of the review from Nicolas, I am the brother in law in question. We have ordered from here many times & each time the food has always been heavenly. Today was an especially sentimental day as Nicolas asked me to be his groomsmen here. We celebrated with eating some delicious koobide, barg & jooje kebab that was out of this world! Thank your Datis for making this an unforgettable day for us with exceptional service ! We will be back!
Mon expérience avait bien commencé : excellent accueil de la serveuse, restaurant propre & calme. Nous avons commandé deux plats. La salade grecque au poulet manquait de fraîcheur, était très acide, & le poulet avait une odeur désagréable. Pour le kebab koobideh, l'assaisonnement de la viande hachée était trop léger : on ne sentait que le goût de la viande.
Au moment de payer, le pourboire affiché sur la facture était calculé avant taxes, mais le montant prélevé l'a été avec les taxes. Je trouve cette pratique malhonnête : non seulement elle contrevient aux règles, mais si on m'avait informée clairement - d'autant que le service était bon - je l'aurais acceptée.
